SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 11 and August 8, 1997, the Committee 
for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published 
notices (62 F.R. 37192 and 42745) of proposed additions to the 
Procurement List.
    After consideration of the material presented to it concerning 
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the commodities 
and impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractors, 
the Committee has determined that the commodities listed below are 
suitable for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 46-
48c and 41 CFR 51-2.4. I certify that the following action will not 
have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
The major factors considered for this certification were:
    1. The action will not result in any additional reporting, 
recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small entities other 
than the small organizations that will furnish the commodities to the 
Government.
    2. The action will not have a severe economic impact on current 
contractors for the commodities.
    3. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the commodities to the Government.
    4. There are no known regulatory alternatives which would 
accomplish the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46-
48c) in connection with the commodities proposed for addition to the 
Procurement List.
    Accordingly, the following commodities are hereby added to the 
Procurement List:

Ribbon, Typewriter
7510-01-233-0033

Short Run, Short Schedule Duplicating (Program 2979-S)
7690-00-NSH-0087
(Requirements for the Government Printing Office, San Francisco, CA)

Books and Pamphlets (Program 1995-S)
7690-00-NSH-0088
(Requirements for the Government Printing Office, San Francisco, CA)

    This action does not affect current contracts awarded prior to the 
effective date of this addition or options that may be exercised under 
those contracts.
Beverly L. Milkman,
Executive Director.
